What About Brian (2006) s02e14 Episode Script
What About Finding Your Place...
Previously on "What about Brian" And you can stay here as long as you want.
- Thanks, buddy.
- On the couch.
And they can do Carrie's surgery next friday.
How you doing? The I.
R.
S.
came down and issued an arrest warrant For your father.
- It's gone.
- What's gone? Jobs, commissions, everything.
You think they're ever gonna announce these partnerships? - You got it, didn't you? - I did.
- Who else? - Richardson.
Sorry, man.
- What the - Hi This is gonna be the best day of work ever.
- What are you talking about? - They're all interviewing for your assistant job.
Man, they're all here for you.
Ladies How we feeling? I never should have fired Lindsay.
Do not have second thoughts, all right? You did the right thing.
You asked Lindsay for some staples, and she gave you one, one staple.
Who does that? You're right.
She wasn't exactly a good assistant.
I will give you that.
All right.
Right with you.
Just one second.
You're obviously going through some changes.
I get that.
It's not every day you break with your wife and your fiancee only hours apart.
- Thanks for the reminder, Jimmy.
- Sorry.
How are you handling all this, by the way? I'm okay.
You know the Marjorie/Heather thing, I know it was the right decision in the long run, but I don't know.
- Need a hug? - No, I don't need a hug.
I need to make partner soon.
So I'm gonna work my ass off so they have no choice but to notice me.
I say you get your ass back out on the market as soon as possible.
The last time you got my ass back out on the market, I ended up getting married, which I'm now in the process of undoing.
That was my wife's fault, not mine.
Women.
Women.
Exactly.
Which is why I have made a decision.
I, Adam Hillman, am taking a vow of celibacy.
- A vow of what? - That's right.
No sex until I make partner.
Women have caused me nothing but problems.
I've been to jail, I've been in fights, I nearly lost my best friend, and I haven't made partner.
So I'm eliminating women altogether : no sex, no dating, no long talks about your feelings, because before you know it, you're sucking you in, and you you're married in a hotel room in vegas.
So just do me a favor, Jimmy, and send all those women out there home.
- Are you trying to make me cry? - No, my friend.
I'm just trying to make partner.
The surgery's probably gonna take a couple of hours, so if you need to do anything, do it now before we start.
I'm sorry.
Just remind me how long she'll be in recovery.
Anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.
How many weeks do we have to wait before we we turn on the implant to see if it worked? Probably not for another month or so.
Look, I know you're nervous, but everything's gonna be fine.
Let's just get Carrie out of surgery And we'll go okay.
I can't go in there.
I can't watch.
Honey, if you don't wanna go in there, you don't have to go in there.
It's fine.
- Doesn't it make me a bad mom? - No, of course not.
You're not a bad mom.
You're the best mom in the world.
- Take care of my baby, ok? - I will.
Come here.
It's gonna be okay.
the man is your father, and aside from his wife, if he's called anyone, I figured it would be I already told you, I haven't heard from him.
And right now I wouldn't answer if he did call.
He was also your boss and he ripped off the federal government.
If and when he turns up, he's going to prison.
Are we still gonna get the money that's owed to us? Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.
See, the I.
R.
S.
has first dibs on any money we find, and your father, excuse me, boss, owed a lot.
I finally get out of debt, and you're saying there's $50,000 out there I'm never seeing.
I'm afraid Ms.
Keller's got it worse.
I'm talking about your condo.
It was purchased under the company name? Right, but that's only because Michael cosigned on the loan.
Technically, it counts as Davis realty property, so we're seizing it and reselling it.
Where am I supposed to live? You could buy it back, if you have $400,000 lying around.
Anyway, thank you for your time, and remember, if you do hear from Mr.
Davis, please let us know.
It would be a felony not to.
Any word? What is taking so long? They should've been done by now.
Honey, if something was wrong, someone would've told you by now.
There they are.
The operation went as well as we could have hoped.
It went perfectly.
Doc's a genius.
- How's my baby? - She's a champ, Deen.
Tough, just like her mom.
It's gonna be okay.
Thanks for coming.
That's good.
Yeah, good news.
Of course I remember how to get there, Roy.
It hasn't been that long.
I'll see you then.
Bye-bye.
- How'd it go with Carrie? - Really well.
She's doing great.
- Who's Roy? - Roy Reno from Asteria realty.
They wanna talk to me about opening up a new office, and I have 3 more interviews scheduled for tomorrow.
4 interviews already? Yeah, I can't just sit on the sofa all day.
I can put in a good word for you if you want me to.
Really, I'm good.
So What's happening with the condo? What'd the lawyer say? There's nothing I can do about it.
It's gone.
You know what? I think losing the condo, losing the money It's the universe sending us a sign.
I think you were meant to move in with me.
Has the universe actually seen this place? I'm not taking no for an answer.
Okay, if if I move in here, you have to promise me that we're not gonna be nitpicky about stuff.
We're not gonna get in stupid arguments about things like cleaning and dishes and drawers, ok? This is your house now.
I don't have any drawers to fight about.
All your stuff is in my bedroom anyway.
You really think that's all the stuff I have? Boy, you are in trouble.
This is really a big step for you, isn't it? Humongous.
But it feels right the two of us here, hmm? Hey, honeys, I'm home.
You guys hungry? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Everything all right, babe? Yeah.
I'm fine, fine.
- Just couldn't find my belt.
- Yeah.
We're still a little spatially challenged here, aren't we? So you got any big plans today? I thought I'd sleep in.
I meant after that.
We're out of trash bags.
Honey? Have you seen my hair dryer? I put it in the closet.
There wasn't much room in the bathroom, what with the curling iron and the straightening thing.
- I'm sorry.
Is that okay? - Of course.
I'm taking up all the space here, so the closet's fine with me.
'Cause I can put it somewhere else.
No, that's great.
The closet's fine.
I got it.
Hey.
Nice hair.
I thought you were sleeping in.
Didn't happen.
Okay, I'm leaving.
Look at you.
Another job interview, huh? Don't you have, like, a million offers? Yeah, but I'm playing them against each other.
It's all about strategy.
You should watch and learn, honey.
Oh, I'm watching.
- Oh, I get one, huh? - Yeah.
Well, I'm learning.
All right, baby.
Good luck.
Just promise me you'll never leave here.
I need a Dave Buffer between me and Bridget, or I'll explode.
What are you talking about? Things are going great.
It's all fake.
I can't do it, man.
This was a huge mistake.
All the politeness and the thoughtfulness, the "honey," the "sweetie," the-the hair dryer.
It's all too much.
Do you know how many times I've said I'm sorry in the last few days? Do you, Dave? 15 times! Ok, easy with the controller, buddy.
Sorry.
What was I thinking? Moving in with someone? I have to be on my best behavior all the time.
It's not possible.
This is no way to live.
Calm it down.
Take a deep breath.
There you go.
Okay.
I'm calm.
- You know what you need? - What? You need a night out, a night out with the boys.
That sounds great, Except one of the guys won't come out with us anymore because he's celibate.
How are you two single, and I'm living with someone? How did I become the normal one? Dude, you are so far from normal that it actually scares me.
Shut up.
Game on.
You guys, are lifesavers.
I just can't thank you enough.
Don't thank me yet.
I think I've eaten more than I've frosted.
What kid has 200 people at her birthday party? It's L.
A.
Either way, it's good to have an excuse to just hang out with the girls.
If you wanna have time away from your guys, you should start a book club.
Everybody's doing it.
Do we get to drink at this book club? Definitely.
Sold.
Know any books? I got it.
He's great.
Why are the perfect ones always gay? - Who said he was gay? - I just assumed.
I don't know if he's gay or not, but it doesn't matter either way.
If a hot, straight guy is practically living under your roof, it matters.
He's the nanny, and he is living under my roof.
No.
He is the manny.
Are we supposed to ignore the fact that he has a penis? Penis! It doesn't matter, because I'm not gonna be seeing much of him 'cause I'm going back to work part-time.
- Starting when? - Tomorrow.
Yeah.
I know, it's weird, but I was feeling like something was missing, you know, so back to work.
I got the perfect book idea for you ladies, romantic, sexy, tragic, The notebook.
"The notebook.
" - Hey.
- Hey.
Thanks for meeting me so last minute.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- It's no problem.
What's up? I don't know.
You you tell me.
What's going on with your friend? He's been acting really weird since I moved in, and and, yes, I mean weirder than usual.
Well, I I don't wanna put you in an awkward position, and I could normally do this myself.
It's just that I've been trying to be on my best behavior, and I don't wanna freak him out.
but we've been kind of tiptoeing around each other lately and and walking on eggshells, and do you have any idea how many times we've apologized to each other in the past 2 days? - 15? - Probably.
I can't live like this anymore.
You know what.
Neither can I which is why I-I think I'm gonna leave.
Oh, god, no, Dave.
That's not what I'm trying to say at all.
I know you're not saying that at all.
Look, while I'm there, you and Brian are never gonna know what it's like to live together.
You're always gonna have the 34-year-old kid hanging around.
Where are you gonna go? I don't know.
I always seem to figure it out, though.
Gonna bring a sleeping bag anytime soon, hillman.
- Peter.
- Peter.
Uh, yeah, I'd probably get more work done if I didn't have to go home and sleep.
I hear you.
When I was your age, I seem to remember, sleeping in my office a few times sometimes even alone.
It's late.
What are you working on? Actually, I'm just playing some catch-up on some paperwork.
I had to let my assistant go, and I haven't replaced her yet.
Good move.
She was terrible.
You actually noticed her? Hillman, you will learn very quickly that I notice everything.
I'll let you get that.
Keep up the good work.
I notice that, too.
Adam Hillman speaking.
Brian Davis listening.
Dude, what do you want? I'm working.
I figured.
That's why I'm calling.
You're coming out with us.
Unless "out" means my office, the answer is no.
What the hell are you guys doing here? Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Us? No, not really.
- Not so much.
- Come on.
We're going out.
Guys' night out.
Let's go.
I can't.
I'm working.
Not anymore.
What the hell Dude, this is an intervention.
I took a vow, remember? We don't wanna have sex with you, buddy.
We just wanna go out.
I-I'm not going anywhere.
We're leaving, and you're coming with us.
Well Where are we going? It's great, going out without the girls Without any girls.
See? We respected the vow.
First-timer? Excuse me? I've just never seen you here before.
Yeah.
I'm Andrew.
Excuse me.
Just so you know up front, he's taken a vow of celibacy.
and I'm not gay but thanks for the compliment.
No problem.
I'm telling you guys, this vow of celibacy thing? People sense it, and they wanna break it.
It's genius.
Why of the two of us did he think I was the gay one? You waxed your chest.
One time for the swim team.
there's a table open over there next to those guys.
Adam, come on.
Can I talk to you about something? Oh, god.
Are you coming out? No.
I'm moving out.
What? Why? I told you not to.
Did I do something wrong? Did Bridget? - No! - It's her fault, isn't it? It's not Bridget's fault.
It's not your fault.
- It's me, really.
- "It's not you.
It's me.
" Are you seriously using that line on me? I'm sorry.
You can't leave.
I'm not gonna make it.
You are gonna be fine.
Okay? Come on.
Spread those wings and fly.
Hey, we've all been there, man.
Hi.
Hey, Nicole! Welcome back.
Hey, everyone.
You remember Nicole.
Maybe not.
Where's Kristen and Julie and Thano? Rehab, Atlantic and Kabbalah.
You know how the music business is changes every day.
This is Ruby, Katie and Moose.
Moose? Yeah, I haven't bothered to learn his real name yet.
So lots of important business to discuss today, especially after what went down last night in Philly.
What went down in Philly? Trey from social trash freaked.
His dressing room was red, and he only likes pink.
Apparently someone here, ok, it was moose, forgot to put the rider in his contract.
He wouldn't go on stage for 90 minutes.
- He only likes pink? - It soothes him.
Look people, the difference between a red dressing room and a pink dressing room is huge.
If we don't get the big thingsight, how are we gonna get the little things right? Excuse me.
It's my nanny.
Jamie? Hi.
What? Oh, my god.
That's amazing.
That is great! Wait ok.
It's my daughter Bella.
She just went on the exersaucer for the first time.
What the hell's an exersaucer? Hello? I got your note.
What are you doing? Gary's out of town, so I'm just doing some spackling for him.
I have no idea who Gary is or what you're talking about, but I have great news.
You got rid of the hair dryer? I'm sorry.
Tell me.
I got a job offer at the Thompson group.
The offer is huge, and the perks are amazing.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So I was thinking about inviting the gang over, having a dinner party so we can celebrate everything.
Is that okay? Sure.
We can celebrate my new job, too.
You got a job? Sort of.
You think I'm spackling for free? what, are you the handyman now? Relax, it's just for a month, and we get to live rent-free.
See? I told you things would start coming together.
You sure did.
I think it's cute that she wants us all over for dinner.
It's like she's domesticating Brian.
Jimmy hates dinner parties.
I still need a sitter.
maybe your new manny/boyfriend can come over and watch the kids.
He's not my boyfriend.
That's enough stalling.
Who would like to start the discussion of our book? It's good.
It's really good.
What? You guys didn't like it? all right.
The truth is, I didn't read it.
I ordered it online, but it hasn't got here yet.
Just tell us what happened, and then we'll have a discussion.
Well You didn't read it, either? We're such losers.
Tell me who has time to read a book.
I should have just seen the movie and pretended to read the book, like I did all through high school.
That's what we should do, is start a movie club, not a book club.
Yeah, but we still tell to the guys it's a book club so they'll leave us alone.
Genius.
So what? Are we done? Are we done for the night, or We have all this wine to drink.
We're just getting started.
To the book club.
To the book club.
Hey, buddy! Dave.
What are you doing here? Hopefully sleeping in your guest room.
I know, man.
I know you wanna be alone right now, and I get it, ok? You just gotta pretend that I'm not even here.
Not like Bridget and Brian and me, where everybody's gotta be all polite, and we're all walking on eggshells.
You do your thing.
I do my thing.
It's gonna be great.
I'm just gonna crash out.
We're gonna have so much fun.
Trust me.
- what do we got here? - I think I saw some boob.
Guess celibacy only counts with two or more, huh? You dirty dog.
You disgust me.
Holy! what the hell?! What?! "What?"! You can't do that this early in the morning, dude.
- Do what? - Where the hell's the coffee? Too dangerous when you're naked.
Here's an idea, dude.
Try clothes! Hey, you know what? Hey! Don't do that.
Sit down.
That's good.
Maybe this is a good time for us to go over some of the ground rules, for our new living situation.
Fine.
First of all, eat whatever you wanna eat.
It's my house is your house.
Awesome, dude.
You know I appreciate that.
Second of all, don't touch the cd player or the stereo or the dvd player.
It's just way too complicated.
Same goes for the Tivo.
Don't mess with my season pass.
In fact, basically, just don't touch my stuff.
I'm a little confused here, buddy.
What happened to "my house is your house"? My house is your house.
I mean, not really.
I'm supposed to be alone, remember? How long you planning on staying anyway? I think I'm done.
Why? Is there a problem? Look, I can be flexible about the rules, honestly.
You and I, we're buddies, right? We're friends.
We're tight.
I wanna stay that way, okay? So I'm gonna find a different situation for myself.
You got a cornflake on your made you look, dude.
Morning! Aren't you gonna be late for work? I'm not going to work.
I quit yesterday.
Why? I don't know.
Come on.
This is me you're talking to.
I just felt so empty.
I just sat there and listened to these people talk about paint color and rock stars and thought, "this is what they think is important? These people are morons.
" That was really brave of you.
Well, I just thought it.
I didn't say it.
And now I'm trying to figure out what is important in life, 'cause I don't think it's work.
For you, it's Bella.
Yeah, well, that's obvious.
Yeah, but don't take it for granted.
I mean, right now you're her whole world.
You mean everything.
That's enough, don't you think? Yeah, you're right.
Bella's the only person that will never let me down.
At least until she turns 16.
Let's go, man.
Time for our run.
I can't.
I have too much to do around here.
What are you talking about? I'm the new building manager.
- You mean the janitor? - Building manager.
Go over there and flip that light switch.
I need to see if I fixed this.
- Ah well.
- Just keep up the good work, Schneider.
Shut up.
Hey, Jimmy.
Do you know those girls? No, I thought you did.
- I'm celibate, remember? - Oh, right.
Please don't come over here.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Hey, guys.
Hey, can we, can I help you ladies? We're the new tenants - 2b.
- "Or not to be.
" Sure, right.
Well, welcome.
I am Stephanie, and this is Laura.
I'm Brian.
I'm the building manager It's temporary.
I was just fixing the sconce.
"sconce" is a funny word.
And who are you? I am Adam.
And I'm gonna go for a run, as a matter of fact.
I'm gonna go for a really long run.
I'm training for a marathon.
What time are we coming over for dinner tonight? - I don't know.
8:00? - Yeah? All right.
I'll see you then.
See ya.
So where do you live? Right upstairs.
How convenient for us if our sink ever clogs.
Yeah, got a plunger and everything.
Do you mind helping us move some of our stuff in? - Nope.
Not at all.
- Sweet.
They fell in love, didn't they? Yes, they did.
Good.
I like this kind of story.
Go on.
Noah and Allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road with no regard for the consequences.
I don't know why, but it makes you feel sad.
I know you feel a little lost right now, but don't worry.
Nothing is ever lost or can be lost - Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up? - Look at you, huh? Watching a movie in the middle of the afternoon.
You're not exactly working hard.
I actually came here to see Carrie.
She's sleeping.
How's she doing? She's great.
She's a trouper.
If anything, she's super cuddly lately, so I'm kind of loving it.
I just wish I could do more.
I'm just feeling like I'm totally useless right now.
Well, you're doing everything you can.
I think you've been amazing.
Really? I couldn't have gotten through it without you.
I don't know.
How come I don't feel that way? I just feel like I'm a, I don't know, it's like I'm far away or something.
You wanna watch the end of "the notebook" with me? That sounds like fun.
It is.
But I gotta get back to work.
And also I have to remain a heterosexual.
- Take it.
- Okay.
Fine.
Thanks for doing all this Although we probably could have done it on our own.
Yeah, it just would have taken us 4 hours.
Yeah, unlike the 2 it's taken him.
So let me guess.
You're the sarcastic one.
Not normally, but maybe you just bring it out in me.
No, she's the sarcastic one.
So what do you guys do? Oh, you know, the usual: acting, modeling.
I'm your classic stereotype.
She works all the time, and she just did this indie movie - that's amazing.
- If it ever gets released.
What about you? I'm sort of a professional student.
She's a genius.
I just keep going to school and getting different degrees.
But now I moved back because I figured out what I wanna do.
What's that? She's gonna be a psychologist.
Don't you have to go back to school for that? Yep.
I start U.
C.
L.
A.
on monday.
My work's done here.
Nice.
Thanks.
Don't go.
Have a glass of wine.
No, I can't All right.
Thanks.
To neighbors.
I love this song! Brian, you are not leaving now.
Come on.
Oh, no, I'm just gonna Oh, come on.
Okay, but this is weird.
All right! - Who, me? - Yeah.
Brian? What the hell is going on here? Hey! This is Steph Stephanie And Laura, our new neighbors.
Why are you getting so upset? I was dancing for 1 second, then I fell.
I was working the rest of the time.
I swear.
Ask the girls.
Just tell me what you're thinking.
Okay, fine.
The truth is, I'm not upset about the girl I'm upset because no one told me I was moving in with a handyman.
Building manger.
Whatever! I don't like it.
So then why didn't you say something? - You seemed so okay with it.
- I was faking it! I was tiptoeing around because I didn't want you to think you were moving in with a total bitch, and now I'm living with Schneider.
What, tiptoeing? You think you've been tiptoeing? My face hurts from fake smiling all day.
It's not normal.
You don't think I've noticed that? What happened to the guy that I knew? The motivated, determined, dressed-before-noon guy? This is me.
I was never that other guy, the real estate guy.
I did it to get out of debt.
But seeing how those people operate, especially my dad it makes me wanna run.
I don't wanna have anything to do with that life.
Anything! Ok, I'm a part of that life, so if you don't want anything to do with it, then you better tell me now.
That's not what I meant.
'Cause you know what? I don't wanna cramp your style, your sleep-in, do-nothing, play-video-games-all-day style! If you wanted to be with some business mogul, you should've stayed with my dad.
Hello? Anyone home? Hey Just help yourselves.
We'll be right back.
I don't get it.
How hard is it to find an assistant? Wait a second.
Wait a second.
One stop before dinner.
What what are you doing? Look, this is Peter Green's office.
I want that Anderson case.
If you see anyone coming, use, like, a code word to alert me.
What the hell is the matter with you? Come on! The code word is "cereal.
" This is so stupid.
Come on, Peter.
Give me something I can use, baby.
Yeah, something I can use.
That's a hideous-looking baby.
- Can we please go? - God, you gotta see this baby.
Put the picture down! Let's get the hell outta here.
Come on! I'm out of here.
Good night, Helen.
Cereal! First the gay bar, now this.
Dude, back off.
I'm celibate.
You should see these girls.
Ok, when you say "hot," how hot is hot? Smokin' hot.
I wonder if that's what they're fighting about in there.
What, two hotties living downstairs? Come on.
Ivy would not be happy.
Adam, are those two coming out anytime soon? I don't know.
When's Dave getting here? He can get 'em out.
He wanted to stay home with the girls tonight.
Geneva has the stomach flu.
She's projectile vomiting.
That's why we're not having kids.
I cannot deal with the vomit.
Poop, I can deal with.
But puke? Come on.
No way.
You get used to it after a while.
It's all very natural.
We might still have kids one day.
What? No.
We agreed that we like kids, but we don't want kids.
It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, and so I might - someday.
- Really? Can I talk to you outside for a second? Well, I should go and call Dave and see how he's doing.
Wait a second.
Are you staying at Nicole's tonight? No.
You're not staying at my house.
Right? There's baby stuff all over the place, and I know the kids are sick.
Sweetie, relax.
No, I'm gonna stay at home.
But I just thought Dave was staying with you.
What, he didn't tell you? He doesn't want to stay with me.
It's like he's never seen a man naked before.
That's probably why he came over today.
I should go.
See ya.
We are not going out there until you apologize to me.
Ok, well, I-I guess we just won't be having any sex anytime soon.
Solved the problem right there.
You are blowing this way out of proportion.
I never said I definitely wanted kids.
I just said we shouldn't rule it out.
Can you stop eating for two seconds? - All right, I'm done.
- And by the way, you are not Adam.
You couldn't stay celibate for a day.
Ok.
We'll see about that, ok? Don't come knocking on my door, 'cause little Jimmy, not coming out to play.
- Let's get out of here.
- No! We can't just leave.
Why not? I'm full.
And Brian and Bridget don't seem to care who's here.
Good point.
Don't tell me what I can and can't do.
It's gonna be a frigid bedroom, baby.
Oh, really? I know you better than you think.
Is Brian up there? Hello, ladies.
You must be the new neighbors.
Yeah.
Brian told us to stop by.
Yeah.
They're up there.
Good luck finding him.
Look, I said I was sorry.
We have guests out there, and you're acting like a crazy person.
You think they didn't like you before, just wait.
Brian, this is all your fault.
I know it.
They know it.
Everyone knows it but you.
- My fault? What did I do? - Nothing! That's the problem.
This is because I'm the building manager.
You should love me no matter what I do.
I just need you to be there for me.
I need to find my place.
This is always about finding your place, isn't it? Your place to live, your place in this world.
This is supposed to be our place, not yours.
You can't even find a place for my hair dryer.
It's bigger than my first car, and that car was huge! So then you guys broke up, just like that? Yeah, well, we still have to file papers, but basically it's over.
That must have been painful.
Just so you know, I'm not really into talking about my feelings right now.
And I've taken a vow of celibacy.
No offense.
Excuse me, ladies, I have to go work.
I think we should go.
Bella's really tired.
Could you just tell Brian and Bridget that we said good-bye whoever you are? Yeah, we should probably go, too.
so our first party that went well, no? It seems like you finally found your place on the couch.
They fell in love, didn't they? Yes, they did.
Good.
I like this kind of story.
Go on.
Noah and allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road You're home early.
Nice dinner party.
Yeah, we skipped the dinner part and the party part.
Were you just watching "the notebook"? No.
Maybe.
Yeah.
So what? - How's Geneva? - Good.
Asleep.
Everybody's down.
Good.
So I guess I should get going.
Where? I know that you moved out of Brian's and Adam's.
Why didn't you tell me? Well, you know what? It just happened, and, I don't know, I didn't think it was all that important.
I didn't want you to worry.
I know I'm gonna figure something out.
I already have figured it out.
You'll stay here.
Don't you think that's gonna be a little confusing? For the girls.
They wake up, I'm here tomorrow, then I'm gone the next.
Who says you have to be gone the next? You want me to move back in? I'm not saying we should get back together or anything.
I'm just saying This is your home, and the girls need you.
It's not about us.
It's about them.
So Roomies? Roomies.
I don't know why Getting kind of close to the end.
- It's a good movie, huh? - Yeah, god, it's awesome.
Nothing is ever lost or can be lost.
Hillman, Is that your car out there with the hawkeye bumper sticker? Yeah, big Iowa fan.
I hope that's not a problem.
Not if you wanna make partner here.
- You an alum? - Oh, no.
My family's from Chicago.
I had a few cousins who went, kind of got me hooked, you know.
I'll take the big ten over the pac-10 any day.
Don't dis my trojans now.
Go thing you didn't admit you were an S.
C.
Fan until after you made partner.
Got a deposition.
I wanna talk later.
You put a bumper sticker on that sweet ride of yours? What's it say? "Proud to be a Hawkeye.
" You are pathetic.
Or genius.
I can smell partner.
Hey, Mr.
Hillman.
I have those briefs you requested.
yeah, thanks, Ben.
Just Ok.
Run along.
Thank you.
You hired the kid from the law library as your assistant? Yeah, I had no choice.
What? I wasn't gonna hire one of those hot women out there, and I wasn't gonna hire a man, so I hired ben.
It's perfect.
You've clearly lost your mind.
Yes.
But I'm gonna make partner.
I like the flashback part better, and not just because Ryan Gosling is cuter than James Garner.
Since when do you wear boxers? Those are Dave's.
Yeah, he kind of moved back in.
What?! Are you guys getting back together? No.
Deen, what's meant to be is meant to be, just like in the movie.
All right, it is for the kids.
I swear.
Right.
You should blame the kids.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Because they're gonna blame you for everything later on anyway.
That's what Jimmy says.
Is that why he doesn't wanna have kids? No.
Neither of us did when we got married.
We both decided.
You know, it's, um Ok for for things to change for you to feel differently.
I know.
I saw the movie, too.
I don't know who am I kidding? I mean, I think I can raise a kid? I can't even keep a fern alive.
You never know what you're capable of until you're forced to do it.
I watched that movie, and all I kept thinking about was Angelo.
I'm sorry, honey.
No, it was good.
It was a good thing.
After Angelo died, I never thought I could have feelings for someone else.
You have feelings for the manny.
- I knew it! - 'Cause he's hot! Totally! I don't have feelings for anyone, but No, the point is that I'm I'm I'm ready to.
I think I'm ready to fall in love again.
- I think that's great.
- So do I.
Next week, we are so watching "the sound of music," because the captain falls in love with the babysitter.
Ok, here we go.
This is it.
This is it.
This is my favorite scene.
It was us.
It was us.
Oh, my darling I don't know what you're talking about.
This is not better than "old school".
Some of us are trying to watch it.
Sorry.
Dude, I can't believe you don't like this.
It's a girl deciding between two guys.
It's the story of your life.
You're still mad because I moved out, huh? If you mean stranded me, then yeah.
Brian, you gotta appreciate what you have before you wind up with the alzheimer's like the girl in the movie.
You don't remember anything.
I'm just saying, it's part of being in a relationship.
- You work through things.
- Some things just don't work out.
- I mean, look at you and Deena.
- Actually, I moved back in.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
It's for the girls.
We're not getting back together or anything, but I gotta tell you, man, I can't help but think, maybe it's the beginning of something something better between us.
Bridget and I aren't you and Deena.
You know, we don't have that thing.
I don't know if we're meant to be together or not.
You could be, you know.
I mean, you can't let what your dad did mess with your head.
Not everybody in your life is gonna screw you over.
Not everybody's just gonna take off.
If you want her there, let her be there.
Let her know.
Right? I love this part.
Hi.
Hey.
Is this for my hair dryer? It's for my stuff.
You can have the whole counter for yours.
You don't have to do that, Brian.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I'm happier here, Bridget.
I really am.
This is our place now, and I want you to feel like it is.
Come here.
seeing as you're gonna be fixing a lot of things around here, I figured I'd get you some tools.
Thank you.
You know I'm not gonna be Schneider forever, right? It's way too much work.
Jamie? Jamie? Oh, my god.
Bella kind of puked all over me, and, the sound of the running water lulled her to sleep in her bouncy seat.
So I decided to take advantage of the situation and wash off.
How are you? Good.
I should probably get dressed.
Y-yes.
Go.
yeah, of course.
I
- Thanks, buddy.
- On the couch.
And they can do Carrie's surgery next friday.
How you doing? The I.
R.
S.
came down and issued an arrest warrant For your father.
- It's gone.
- What's gone? Jobs, commissions, everything.
You think they're ever gonna announce these partnerships? - You got it, didn't you? - I did.
- Who else? - Richardson.
Sorry, man.
- What the - Hi This is gonna be the best day of work ever.
- What are you talking about? - They're all interviewing for your assistant job.
Man, they're all here for you.
Ladies How we feeling? I never should have fired Lindsay.
Do not have second thoughts, all right? You did the right thing.
You asked Lindsay for some staples, and she gave you one, one staple.
Who does that? You're right.
She wasn't exactly a good assistant.
I will give you that.
All right.
Right with you.
Just one second.
You're obviously going through some changes.
I get that.
It's not every day you break with your wife and your fiancee only hours apart.
- Thanks for the reminder, Jimmy.
- Sorry.
How are you handling all this, by the way? I'm okay.
You know the Marjorie/Heather thing, I know it was the right decision in the long run, but I don't know.
- Need a hug? - No, I don't need a hug.
I need to make partner soon.
So I'm gonna work my ass off so they have no choice but to notice me.
I say you get your ass back out on the market as soon as possible.
The last time you got my ass back out on the market, I ended up getting married, which I'm now in the process of undoing.
That was my wife's fault, not mine.
Women.
Women.
Exactly.
Which is why I have made a decision.
I, Adam Hillman, am taking a vow of celibacy.
- A vow of what? - That's right.
No sex until I make partner.
Women have caused me nothing but problems.
I've been to jail, I've been in fights, I nearly lost my best friend, and I haven't made partner.
So I'm eliminating women altogether : no sex, no dating, no long talks about your feelings, because before you know it, you're sucking you in, and you you're married in a hotel room in vegas.
So just do me a favor, Jimmy, and send all those women out there home.
- Are you trying to make me cry? - No, my friend.
I'm just trying to make partner.
The surgery's probably gonna take a couple of hours, so if you need to do anything, do it now before we start.
I'm sorry.
Just remind me how long she'll be in recovery.
Anywhere between 2 and 4 hours.
How many weeks do we have to wait before we we turn on the implant to see if it worked? Probably not for another month or so.
Look, I know you're nervous, but everything's gonna be fine.
Let's just get Carrie out of surgery And we'll go okay.
I can't go in there.
I can't watch.
Honey, if you don't wanna go in there, you don't have to go in there.
It's fine.
- Doesn't it make me a bad mom? - No, of course not.
You're not a bad mom.
You're the best mom in the world.
- Take care of my baby, ok? - I will.
Come here.
It's gonna be okay.
the man is your father, and aside from his wife, if he's called anyone, I figured it would be I already told you, I haven't heard from him.
And right now I wouldn't answer if he did call.
He was also your boss and he ripped off the federal government.
If and when he turns up, he's going to prison.
Are we still gonna get the money that's owed to us? Yeah, that's probably not gonna happen.
See, the I.
R.
S.
has first dibs on any money we find, and your father, excuse me, boss, owed a lot.
I finally get out of debt, and you're saying there's $50,000 out there I'm never seeing.
I'm afraid Ms.
Keller's got it worse.
I'm talking about your condo.
It was purchased under the company name? Right, but that's only because Michael cosigned on the loan.
Technically, it counts as Davis realty property, so we're seizing it and reselling it.
Where am I supposed to live? You could buy it back, if you have $400,000 lying around.
Anyway, thank you for your time, and remember, if you do hear from Mr.
Davis, please let us know.
It would be a felony not to.
Any word? What is taking so long? They should've been done by now.
Honey, if something was wrong, someone would've told you by now.
There they are.
The operation went as well as we could have hoped.
It went perfectly.
Doc's a genius.
- How's my baby? - She's a champ, Deen.
Tough, just like her mom.
It's gonna be okay.
Thanks for coming.
That's good.
Yeah, good news.
Of course I remember how to get there, Roy.
It hasn't been that long.
I'll see you then.
Bye-bye.
- How'd it go with Carrie? - Really well.
She's doing great.
- Who's Roy? - Roy Reno from Asteria realty.
They wanna talk to me about opening up a new office, and I have 3 more interviews scheduled for tomorrow.
4 interviews already? Yeah, I can't just sit on the sofa all day.
I can put in a good word for you if you want me to.
Really, I'm good.
So What's happening with the condo? What'd the lawyer say? There's nothing I can do about it.
It's gone.
You know what? I think losing the condo, losing the money It's the universe sending us a sign.
I think you were meant to move in with me.
Has the universe actually seen this place? I'm not taking no for an answer.
Okay, if if I move in here, you have to promise me that we're not gonna be nitpicky about stuff.
We're not gonna get in stupid arguments about things like cleaning and dishes and drawers, ok? This is your house now.
I don't have any drawers to fight about.
All your stuff is in my bedroom anyway.
You really think that's all the stuff I have? Boy, you are in trouble.
This is really a big step for you, isn't it? Humongous.
But it feels right the two of us here, hmm? Hey, honeys, I'm home.
You guys hungry? I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Everything all right, babe? Yeah.
I'm fine, fine.
- Just couldn't find my belt.
- Yeah.
We're still a little spatially challenged here, aren't we? So you got any big plans today? I thought I'd sleep in.
I meant after that.
We're out of trash bags.
Honey? Have you seen my hair dryer? I put it in the closet.
There wasn't much room in the bathroom, what with the curling iron and the straightening thing.
- I'm sorry.
Is that okay? - Of course.
I'm taking up all the space here, so the closet's fine with me.
'Cause I can put it somewhere else.
No, that's great.
The closet's fine.
I got it.
Hey.
Nice hair.
I thought you were sleeping in.
Didn't happen.
Okay, I'm leaving.
Look at you.
Another job interview, huh? Don't you have, like, a million offers? Yeah, but I'm playing them against each other.
It's all about strategy.
You should watch and learn, honey.
Oh, I'm watching.
- Oh, I get one, huh? - Yeah.
Well, I'm learning.
All right, baby.
Good luck.
Just promise me you'll never leave here.
I need a Dave Buffer between me and Bridget, or I'll explode.
What are you talking about? Things are going great.
It's all fake.
I can't do it, man.
This was a huge mistake.
All the politeness and the thoughtfulness, the "honey," the "sweetie," the-the hair dryer.
It's all too much.
Do you know how many times I've said I'm sorry in the last few days? Do you, Dave? 15 times! Ok, easy with the controller, buddy.
Sorry.
What was I thinking? Moving in with someone? I have to be on my best behavior all the time.
It's not possible.
This is no way to live.
Calm it down.
Take a deep breath.
There you go.
Okay.
I'm calm.
- You know what you need? - What? You need a night out, a night out with the boys.
That sounds great, Except one of the guys won't come out with us anymore because he's celibate.
How are you two single, and I'm living with someone? How did I become the normal one? Dude, you are so far from normal that it actually scares me.
Shut up.
Game on.
You guys, are lifesavers.
I just can't thank you enough.
Don't thank me yet.
I think I've eaten more than I've frosted.
What kid has 200 people at her birthday party? It's L.
A.
Either way, it's good to have an excuse to just hang out with the girls.
If you wanna have time away from your guys, you should start a book club.
Everybody's doing it.
Do we get to drink at this book club? Definitely.
Sold.
Know any books? I got it.
He's great.
Why are the perfect ones always gay? - Who said he was gay? - I just assumed.
I don't know if he's gay or not, but it doesn't matter either way.
If a hot, straight guy is practically living under your roof, it matters.
He's the nanny, and he is living under my roof.
No.
He is the manny.
Are we supposed to ignore the fact that he has a penis? Penis! It doesn't matter, because I'm not gonna be seeing much of him 'cause I'm going back to work part-time.
- Starting when? - Tomorrow.
Yeah.
I know, it's weird, but I was feeling like something was missing, you know, so back to work.
I got the perfect book idea for you ladies, romantic, sexy, tragic, The notebook.
"The notebook.
" - Hey.
- Hey.
Thanks for meeting me so last minute.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- It's no problem.
What's up? I don't know.
You you tell me.
What's going on with your friend? He's been acting really weird since I moved in, and and, yes, I mean weirder than usual.
Well, I I don't wanna put you in an awkward position, and I could normally do this myself.
It's just that I've been trying to be on my best behavior, and I don't wanna freak him out.
but we've been kind of tiptoeing around each other lately and and walking on eggshells, and do you have any idea how many times we've apologized to each other in the past 2 days? - 15? - Probably.
I can't live like this anymore.
You know what.
Neither can I which is why I-I think I'm gonna leave.
Oh, god, no, Dave.
That's not what I'm trying to say at all.
I know you're not saying that at all.
Look, while I'm there, you and Brian are never gonna know what it's like to live together.
You're always gonna have the 34-year-old kid hanging around.
Where are you gonna go? I don't know.
I always seem to figure it out, though.
Gonna bring a sleeping bag anytime soon, hillman.
- Peter.
- Peter.
Uh, yeah, I'd probably get more work done if I didn't have to go home and sleep.
I hear you.
When I was your age, I seem to remember, sleeping in my office a few times sometimes even alone.
It's late.
What are you working on? Actually, I'm just playing some catch-up on some paperwork.
I had to let my assistant go, and I haven't replaced her yet.
Good move.
She was terrible.
You actually noticed her? Hillman, you will learn very quickly that I notice everything.
I'll let you get that.
Keep up the good work.
I notice that, too.
Adam Hillman speaking.
Brian Davis listening.
Dude, what do you want? I'm working.
I figured.
That's why I'm calling.
You're coming out with us.
Unless "out" means my office, the answer is no.
What the hell are you guys doing here? Don't you have anything better to do with your time? Us? No, not really.
- Not so much.
- Come on.
We're going out.
Guys' night out.
Let's go.
I can't.
I'm working.
Not anymore.
What the hell Dude, this is an intervention.
I took a vow, remember? We don't wanna have sex with you, buddy.
We just wanna go out.
I-I'm not going anywhere.
We're leaving, and you're coming with us.
Well Where are we going? It's great, going out without the girls Without any girls.
See? We respected the vow.
First-timer? Excuse me? I've just never seen you here before.
Yeah.
I'm Andrew.
Excuse me.
Just so you know up front, he's taken a vow of celibacy.
and I'm not gay but thanks for the compliment.
No problem.
I'm telling you guys, this vow of celibacy thing? People sense it, and they wanna break it.
It's genius.
Why of the two of us did he think I was the gay one? You waxed your chest.
One time for the swim team.
there's a table open over there next to those guys.
Adam, come on.
Can I talk to you about something? Oh, god.
Are you coming out? No.
I'm moving out.
What? Why? I told you not to.
Did I do something wrong? Did Bridget? - No! - It's her fault, isn't it? It's not Bridget's fault.
It's not your fault.
- It's me, really.
- "It's not you.
It's me.
" Are you seriously using that line on me? I'm sorry.
You can't leave.
I'm not gonna make it.
You are gonna be fine.
Okay? Come on.
Spread those wings and fly.
Hey, we've all been there, man.
Hi.
Hey, Nicole! Welcome back.
Hey, everyone.
You remember Nicole.
Maybe not.
Where's Kristen and Julie and Thano? Rehab, Atlantic and Kabbalah.
You know how the music business is changes every day.
This is Ruby, Katie and Moose.
Moose? Yeah, I haven't bothered to learn his real name yet.
So lots of important business to discuss today, especially after what went down last night in Philly.
What went down in Philly? Trey from social trash freaked.
His dressing room was red, and he only likes pink.
Apparently someone here, ok, it was moose, forgot to put the rider in his contract.
He wouldn't go on stage for 90 minutes.
- He only likes pink? - It soothes him.
Look people, the difference between a red dressing room and a pink dressing room is huge.
If we don't get the big thingsight, how are we gonna get the little things right? Excuse me.
It's my nanny.
Jamie? Hi.
What? Oh, my god.
That's amazing.
That is great! Wait ok.
It's my daughter Bella.
She just went on the exersaucer for the first time.
What the hell's an exersaucer? Hello? I got your note.
What are you doing? Gary's out of town, so I'm just doing some spackling for him.
I have no idea who Gary is or what you're talking about, but I have great news.
You got rid of the hair dryer? I'm sorry.
Tell me.
I got a job offer at the Thompson group.
The offer is huge, and the perks are amazing.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So I was thinking about inviting the gang over, having a dinner party so we can celebrate everything.
Is that okay? Sure.
We can celebrate my new job, too.
You got a job? Sort of.
You think I'm spackling for free? what, are you the handyman now? Relax, it's just for a month, and we get to live rent-free.
See? I told you things would start coming together.
You sure did.
I think it's cute that she wants us all over for dinner.
It's like she's domesticating Brian.
Jimmy hates dinner parties.
I still need a sitter.
maybe your new manny/boyfriend can come over and watch the kids.
He's not my boyfriend.
That's enough stalling.
Who would like to start the discussion of our book? It's good.
It's really good.
What? You guys didn't like it? all right.
The truth is, I didn't read it.
I ordered it online, but it hasn't got here yet.
Just tell us what happened, and then we'll have a discussion.
Well You didn't read it, either? We're such losers.
Tell me who has time to read a book.
I should have just seen the movie and pretended to read the book, like I did all through high school.
That's what we should do, is start a movie club, not a book club.
Yeah, but we still tell to the guys it's a book club so they'll leave us alone.
Genius.
So what? Are we done? Are we done for the night, or We have all this wine to drink.
We're just getting started.
To the book club.
To the book club.
Hey, buddy! Dave.
What are you doing here? Hopefully sleeping in your guest room.
I know, man.
I know you wanna be alone right now, and I get it, ok? You just gotta pretend that I'm not even here.
Not like Bridget and Brian and me, where everybody's gotta be all polite, and we're all walking on eggshells.
You do your thing.
I do my thing.
It's gonna be great.
I'm just gonna crash out.
We're gonna have so much fun.
Trust me.
- what do we got here? - I think I saw some boob.
Guess celibacy only counts with two or more, huh? You dirty dog.
You disgust me.
Holy! what the hell?! What?! "What?"! You can't do that this early in the morning, dude.
- Do what? - Where the hell's the coffee? Too dangerous when you're naked.
Here's an idea, dude.
Try clothes! Hey, you know what? Hey! Don't do that.
Sit down.
That's good.
Maybe this is a good time for us to go over some of the ground rules, for our new living situation.
Fine.
First of all, eat whatever you wanna eat.
It's my house is your house.
Awesome, dude.
You know I appreciate that.
Second of all, don't touch the cd player or the stereo or the dvd player.
It's just way too complicated.
Same goes for the Tivo.
Don't mess with my season pass.
In fact, basically, just don't touch my stuff.
I'm a little confused here, buddy.
What happened to "my house is your house"? My house is your house.
I mean, not really.
I'm supposed to be alone, remember? How long you planning on staying anyway? I think I'm done.
Why? Is there a problem? Look, I can be flexible about the rules, honestly.
You and I, we're buddies, right? We're friends.
We're tight.
I wanna stay that way, okay? So I'm gonna find a different situation for myself.
You got a cornflake on your made you look, dude.
Morning! Aren't you gonna be late for work? I'm not going to work.
I quit yesterday.
Why? I don't know.
Come on.
This is me you're talking to.
I just felt so empty.
I just sat there and listened to these people talk about paint color and rock stars and thought, "this is what they think is important? These people are morons.
" That was really brave of you.
Well, I just thought it.
I didn't say it.
And now I'm trying to figure out what is important in life, 'cause I don't think it's work.
For you, it's Bella.
Yeah, well, that's obvious.
Yeah, but don't take it for granted.
I mean, right now you're her whole world.
You mean everything.
That's enough, don't you think? Yeah, you're right.
Bella's the only person that will never let me down.
At least until she turns 16.
Let's go, man.
Time for our run.
I can't.
I have too much to do around here.
What are you talking about? I'm the new building manager.
- You mean the janitor? - Building manager.
Go over there and flip that light switch.
I need to see if I fixed this.
- Ah well.
- Just keep up the good work, Schneider.
Shut up.
Hey, Jimmy.
Do you know those girls? No, I thought you did.
- I'm celibate, remember? - Oh, right.
Please don't come over here.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Hey, guys.
Hey, can we, can I help you ladies? We're the new tenants - 2b.
- "Or not to be.
" Sure, right.
Well, welcome.
I am Stephanie, and this is Laura.
I'm Brian.
I'm the building manager It's temporary.
I was just fixing the sconce.
"sconce" is a funny word.
And who are you? I am Adam.
And I'm gonna go for a run, as a matter of fact.
I'm gonna go for a really long run.
I'm training for a marathon.
What time are we coming over for dinner tonight? - I don't know.
8:00? - Yeah? All right.
I'll see you then.
See ya.
So where do you live? Right upstairs.
How convenient for us if our sink ever clogs.
Yeah, got a plunger and everything.
Do you mind helping us move some of our stuff in? - Nope.
Not at all.
- Sweet.
They fell in love, didn't they? Yes, they did.
Good.
I like this kind of story.
Go on.
Noah and Allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road with no regard for the consequences.
I don't know why, but it makes you feel sad.
I know you feel a little lost right now, but don't worry.
Nothing is ever lost or can be lost - Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up? - Look at you, huh? Watching a movie in the middle of the afternoon.
You're not exactly working hard.
I actually came here to see Carrie.
She's sleeping.
How's she doing? She's great.
She's a trouper.
If anything, she's super cuddly lately, so I'm kind of loving it.
I just wish I could do more.
I'm just feeling like I'm totally useless right now.
Well, you're doing everything you can.
I think you've been amazing.
Really? I couldn't have gotten through it without you.
I don't know.
How come I don't feel that way? I just feel like I'm a, I don't know, it's like I'm far away or something.
You wanna watch the end of "the notebook" with me? That sounds like fun.
It is.
But I gotta get back to work.
And also I have to remain a heterosexual.
- Take it.
- Okay.
Fine.
Thanks for doing all this Although we probably could have done it on our own.
Yeah, it just would have taken us 4 hours.
Yeah, unlike the 2 it's taken him.
So let me guess.
You're the sarcastic one.
Not normally, but maybe you just bring it out in me.
No, she's the sarcastic one.
So what do you guys do? Oh, you know, the usual: acting, modeling.
I'm your classic stereotype.
She works all the time, and she just did this indie movie - that's amazing.
- If it ever gets released.
What about you? I'm sort of a professional student.
She's a genius.
I just keep going to school and getting different degrees.
But now I moved back because I figured out what I wanna do.
What's that? She's gonna be a psychologist.
Don't you have to go back to school for that? Yep.
I start U.
C.
L.
A.
on monday.
My work's done here.
Nice.
Thanks.
Don't go.
Have a glass of wine.
No, I can't All right.
Thanks.
To neighbors.
I love this song! Brian, you are not leaving now.
Come on.
Oh, no, I'm just gonna Oh, come on.
Okay, but this is weird.
All right! - Who, me? - Yeah.
Brian? What the hell is going on here? Hey! This is Steph Stephanie And Laura, our new neighbors.
Why are you getting so upset? I was dancing for 1 second, then I fell.
I was working the rest of the time.
I swear.
Ask the girls.
Just tell me what you're thinking.
Okay, fine.
The truth is, I'm not upset about the girl I'm upset because no one told me I was moving in with a handyman.
Building manger.
Whatever! I don't like it.
So then why didn't you say something? - You seemed so okay with it.
- I was faking it! I was tiptoeing around because I didn't want you to think you were moving in with a total bitch, and now I'm living with Schneider.
What, tiptoeing? You think you've been tiptoeing? My face hurts from fake smiling all day.
It's not normal.
You don't think I've noticed that? What happened to the guy that I knew? The motivated, determined, dressed-before-noon guy? This is me.
I was never that other guy, the real estate guy.
I did it to get out of debt.
But seeing how those people operate, especially my dad it makes me wanna run.
I don't wanna have anything to do with that life.
Anything! Ok, I'm a part of that life, so if you don't want anything to do with it, then you better tell me now.
That's not what I meant.
'Cause you know what? I don't wanna cramp your style, your sleep-in, do-nothing, play-video-games-all-day style! If you wanted to be with some business mogul, you should've stayed with my dad.
Hello? Anyone home? Hey Just help yourselves.
We'll be right back.
I don't get it.
How hard is it to find an assistant? Wait a second.
Wait a second.
One stop before dinner.
What what are you doing? Look, this is Peter Green's office.
I want that Anderson case.
If you see anyone coming, use, like, a code word to alert me.
What the hell is the matter with you? Come on! The code word is "cereal.
" This is so stupid.
Come on, Peter.
Give me something I can use, baby.
Yeah, something I can use.
That's a hideous-looking baby.
- Can we please go? - God, you gotta see this baby.
Put the picture down! Let's get the hell outta here.
Come on! I'm out of here.
Good night, Helen.
Cereal! First the gay bar, now this.
Dude, back off.
I'm celibate.
You should see these girls.
Ok, when you say "hot," how hot is hot? Smokin' hot.
I wonder if that's what they're fighting about in there.
What, two hotties living downstairs? Come on.
Ivy would not be happy.
Adam, are those two coming out anytime soon? I don't know.
When's Dave getting here? He can get 'em out.
He wanted to stay home with the girls tonight.
Geneva has the stomach flu.
She's projectile vomiting.
That's why we're not having kids.
I cannot deal with the vomit.
Poop, I can deal with.
But puke? Come on.
No way.
You get used to it after a while.
It's all very natural.
We might still have kids one day.
What? No.
We agreed that we like kids, but we don't want kids.
It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, and so I might - someday.
- Really? Can I talk to you outside for a second? Well, I should go and call Dave and see how he's doing.
Wait a second.
Are you staying at Nicole's tonight? No.
You're not staying at my house.
Right? There's baby stuff all over the place, and I know the kids are sick.
Sweetie, relax.
No, I'm gonna stay at home.
But I just thought Dave was staying with you.
What, he didn't tell you? He doesn't want to stay with me.
It's like he's never seen a man naked before.
That's probably why he came over today.
I should go.
See ya.
We are not going out there until you apologize to me.
Ok, well, I-I guess we just won't be having any sex anytime soon.
Solved the problem right there.
You are blowing this way out of proportion.
I never said I definitely wanted kids.
I just said we shouldn't rule it out.
Can you stop eating for two seconds? - All right, I'm done.
- And by the way, you are not Adam.
You couldn't stay celibate for a day.
Ok.
We'll see about that, ok? Don't come knocking on my door, 'cause little Jimmy, not coming out to play.
- Let's get out of here.
- No! We can't just leave.
Why not? I'm full.
And Brian and Bridget don't seem to care who's here.
Good point.
Don't tell me what I can and can't do.
It's gonna be a frigid bedroom, baby.
Oh, really? I know you better than you think.
Is Brian up there? Hello, ladies.
You must be the new neighbors.
Yeah.
Brian told us to stop by.
Yeah.
They're up there.
Good luck finding him.
Look, I said I was sorry.
We have guests out there, and you're acting like a crazy person.
You think they didn't like you before, just wait.
Brian, this is all your fault.
I know it.
They know it.
Everyone knows it but you.
- My fault? What did I do? - Nothing! That's the problem.
This is because I'm the building manager.
You should love me no matter what I do.
I just need you to be there for me.
I need to find my place.
This is always about finding your place, isn't it? Your place to live, your place in this world.
This is supposed to be our place, not yours.
You can't even find a place for my hair dryer.
It's bigger than my first car, and that car was huge! So then you guys broke up, just like that? Yeah, well, we still have to file papers, but basically it's over.
That must have been painful.
Just so you know, I'm not really into talking about my feelings right now.
And I've taken a vow of celibacy.
No offense.
Excuse me, ladies, I have to go work.
I think we should go.
Bella's really tired.
Could you just tell Brian and Bridget that we said good-bye whoever you are? Yeah, we should probably go, too.
so our first party that went well, no? It seems like you finally found your place on the couch.
They fell in love, didn't they? Yes, they did.
Good.
I like this kind of story.
Go on.
Noah and allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl traveling down a very long road You're home early.
Nice dinner party.
Yeah, we skipped the dinner part and the party part.
Were you just watching "the notebook"? No.
Maybe.
Yeah.
So what? - How's Geneva? - Good.
Asleep.
Everybody's down.
Good.
So I guess I should get going.
Where? I know that you moved out of Brian's and Adam's.
Why didn't you tell me? Well, you know what? It just happened, and, I don't know, I didn't think it was all that important.
I didn't want you to worry.
I know I'm gonna figure something out.
I already have figured it out.
You'll stay here.
Don't you think that's gonna be a little confusing? For the girls.
They wake up, I'm here tomorrow, then I'm gone the next.
Who says you have to be gone the next? You want me to move back in? I'm not saying we should get back together or anything.
I'm just saying This is your home, and the girls need you.
It's not about us.
It's about them.
So Roomies? Roomies.
I don't know why Getting kind of close to the end.
- It's a good movie, huh? - Yeah, god, it's awesome.
Nothing is ever lost or can be lost.
Hillman, Is that your car out there with the hawkeye bumper sticker? Yeah, big Iowa fan.
I hope that's not a problem.
Not if you wanna make partner here.
- You an alum? - Oh, no.
My family's from Chicago.
I had a few cousins who went, kind of got me hooked, you know.
I'll take the big ten over the pac-10 any day.
Don't dis my trojans now.
Go thing you didn't admit you were an S.
C.
Fan until after you made partner.
Got a deposition.
I wanna talk later.
You put a bumper sticker on that sweet ride of yours? What's it say? "Proud to be a Hawkeye.
" You are pathetic.
Or genius.
I can smell partner.
Hey, Mr.
Hillman.
I have those briefs you requested.
yeah, thanks, Ben.
Just Ok.
Run along.
Thank you.
You hired the kid from the law library as your assistant? Yeah, I had no choice.
What? I wasn't gonna hire one of those hot women out there, and I wasn't gonna hire a man, so I hired ben.
It's perfect.
You've clearly lost your mind.
Yes.
But I'm gonna make partner.
I like the flashback part better, and not just because Ryan Gosling is cuter than James Garner.
Since when do you wear boxers? Those are Dave's.
Yeah, he kind of moved back in.
What?! Are you guys getting back together? No.
Deen, what's meant to be is meant to be, just like in the movie.
All right, it is for the kids.
I swear.
Right.
You should blame the kids.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Because they're gonna blame you for everything later on anyway.
That's what Jimmy says.
Is that why he doesn't wanna have kids? No.
Neither of us did when we got married.
We both decided.
You know, it's, um Ok for for things to change for you to feel differently.
I know.
I saw the movie, too.
I don't know who am I kidding? I mean, I think I can raise a kid? I can't even keep a fern alive.
You never know what you're capable of until you're forced to do it.
I watched that movie, and all I kept thinking about was Angelo.
I'm sorry, honey.
No, it was good.
It was a good thing.
After Angelo died, I never thought I could have feelings for someone else.
You have feelings for the manny.
- I knew it! - 'Cause he's hot! Totally! I don't have feelings for anyone, but No, the point is that I'm I'm I'm ready to.
I think I'm ready to fall in love again.
- I think that's great.
- So do I.
Next week, we are so watching "the sound of music," because the captain falls in love with the babysitter.
Ok, here we go.
This is it.
This is it.
This is my favorite scene.
It was us.
It was us.
Oh, my darling I don't know what you're talking about.
This is not better than "old school".
Some of us are trying to watch it.
Sorry.
Dude, I can't believe you don't like this.
It's a girl deciding between two guys.
It's the story of your life.
You're still mad because I moved out, huh? If you mean stranded me, then yeah.
Brian, you gotta appreciate what you have before you wind up with the alzheimer's like the girl in the movie.
You don't remember anything.
I'm just saying, it's part of being in a relationship.
- You work through things.
- Some things just don't work out.
- I mean, look at you and Deena.
- Actually, I moved back in.
- Really? - Yeah, really.
It's for the girls.
We're not getting back together or anything, but I gotta tell you, man, I can't help but think, maybe it's the beginning of something something better between us.
Bridget and I aren't you and Deena.
You know, we don't have that thing.
I don't know if we're meant to be together or not.
You could be, you know.
I mean, you can't let what your dad did mess with your head.
Not everybody in your life is gonna screw you over.
Not everybody's just gonna take off.
If you want her there, let her be there.
Let her know.
Right? I love this part.
Hi.
Hey.
Is this for my hair dryer? It's for my stuff.
You can have the whole counter for yours.
You don't have to do that, Brian.
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
I'm happier here, Bridget.
I really am.
This is our place now, and I want you to feel like it is.
Come here.
seeing as you're gonna be fixing a lot of things around here, I figured I'd get you some tools.
Thank you.
You know I'm not gonna be Schneider forever, right? It's way too much work.
Jamie? Jamie? Oh, my god.
Bella kind of puked all over me, and, the sound of the running water lulled her to sleep in her bouncy seat.
So I decided to take advantage of the situation and wash off.
How are you? Good.
I should probably get dressed.
Y-yes.
Go.
yeah, of course.
I
